The Kokopelli Trail MTB Getaway

Details

Kokopelli Trail MTB On the western slope of Colorado, the famous Kokopelli Trail winds its way through sagebrush, ledgy slickrock, winding double track, sandy washes and fast jeep trails and crosses the state line toward Moab, Utah.

Has the Kokopelli Trail been on your bucket list? Are you tired of sitting at your desk watching the world go by? Getting on the same local rides and ready to experience adventure? The Kokopelli Mountain Bike Tour is for you.

Unique beauty, amazing wildlife and profound solitude – all the elements of true adventure – reward riders willing to brave the Kokopelli journey. Vast landscape and ancient obstacles combine to create the rugged and stunning beauty of this classic trail. This tour is about the experience, pushing yourself and making friends along the way.

The riders who truly enjoy the event and gain from the experience are those who appreciate the beauty of the land, the camaraderie of other adventurers and the thrill of relaxing in the Colorado River at the end of the day. It’s not an expedition to survive or a race to win, it’s an experience to live.

Because of the diversity of the trail it’s difficult to rate but it is not for beginners. Strong intermediate riders will thoroughly enjoy this trip. Most of the trail is rideable by a strong rider with moderate technical skills. While it is not designed for the casual rider, you can finish with focused and adequate training. This trip will be limited to 20 riders in order to keep the group intimate and allow for personal attention from the guides.

After a challenging day on the trails, riders sit down to a hot, gourmet meal and share stories around a campfire. The course is a carefully laid out, truly authentic, wilderness experience. You will bathe in the Colorado River, sleep in tents and ride across the amazing desert landscape while dining on delicious meals and mingling with friends that will last a lifetime.

Schedule

Thursday:Day 1: R Riders begin with some beautiful single track that parallels the Colorado River. After Salt Creek, the trail gets wider as the miles roll away. Beautiful rolling hills brings riders past Rabbit Valley into the desert backcountry.

Day 2: Westwater Mesa allows for amazing views of the previous day’s ride. The trail brushes up against the Colorado River a number of times and allows for a quick dip to cool down if temperatures are warm.

Day 3: Yellow Jacket Canyon is the highlight of this day as the trail brings you so close to 1000’ high cliffs that you can touch them (literally).

Day 4: This section is as remote as the Kokopelli Trail gets. Climbing up from Dewey Bridge is a lung buster and is usually described as the best part of the week.
